Directed by: Penny Marshall
Starring: Tom Hanks, Bill Pullman, Jon Lovitz, Geena Davis, Madonna, Lori Petty, Rosie O'Donnell
Character mistake: In the opening game Ellen Sue is pitching but the announcer states Kit is pitching.
Suggested correction: Kit is on the mound. Ellen Sue is playing short stop. But she's the one who beans the guy making fun of the girls, she just wasn't pitching.
Visible crew/equipment: After the Peaches are introduced at their first game, they run onto the field. If you watch the background carefully, Rosie O'Donnell clearly trips over a production wire. (00:35:50)
Kid: Mr. Dugan, can you sign my baseball card? Whoa... avoid the clap, signed Jimmy Dugan.
Jimmy: That's good advice!
Question: Why did Marshall hire Madonna and O'Donnell?
Answer: Rosie O'Donnell auditioned for the role of Marla, but lost it. Penny Marshal thought she was a good actress and so funny she created the role of Doris for her. As for Madonna, she was like all singers getting offered movie roles. She was very popular back in the 90's, but reportedly a total diva to work with.
